IndentationError: unindent does not match any outer indentation level in msfrpc_smb.py

[Mazuco]

When I type python msfrpc_smb.py -p batman -t 192.168.1.135 it return me a error below

File "msfrpc_smb.py", line 95 with open(ipfile) as f: ^ IndentationError: unindent does not match any outer indentation level

How to fix it?

I was able to recreate the problem locally on my machine. Seems like inconsistent use of tabs vs. spaces in the code. You can fix that yourself by going through the script and replacing each tab with 4 spaces. Python PEP-8 (https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/) states that it is strongly recommended to use 4 spaces for each indentation level. If you don't want to go through manually and change each of the tabs in the file to 4 spaces you could write a python script to do that for you and run it over each file you need to clean up.

Example python script to remove indentation inconsistencies:

lines = []
with open('msfrpc_smb.py', 'r') as f:
    for line in f:
        line = line.replace('\t', '    ')
        lines.append(line)

with open('msfrpc_smb.py', 'w') as f:
    f.writelines(lines)

very helpful

python script that can be customized for filename and number of spaces and called from terminal. It also creates a backup of the file before operating on it. Based on @bbishop423:

# Fixes python files that contain mixed spaces and tabs.
# Typical error message: "IndentationError: unindent does not match any outer indentation level"
# Example usage:
#                 python fix_tabs.py -f clustering.py -s 2

import argparse
import shutil

if __name__ == '__main__':
  parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
  parser.add_argument('-f', '--file', type = str, help='Specify filename.')
  parser.add_argument('-s', '--spaces', type = int, default = 4,
        help='Specify number of spaces. Default: %(default)s')
  args = parser.parse_args()
  
  shutil.copyfile(args.file, args.file + '.bkp')  

  lines = []

  with open(args.file, 'r') as f:
    for line in f:
      line = line.replace('\t', ' '*args.spaces)
      lines.append(line)

  with open(args.file, 'w') as f:
    f.writelines(lines)
